Fund Changes

Our funds are always potentially subject to changes, and we want to keep you up-to-date with what's happening. You'll find information on recent changes below. We'd recommend that you visit this page for information if you are considering your investment choice. This page is for information purposes only. Please speak to your adviser if you require any more information.

In August 2014 the name and investment objective of the Prudential Investec Global Free Enterprise Fund changed.

The underlying fund manager, Investec, decided to adopt a broader investment objective because, as markets develop over time, it believed there will be fewer suitable investment opportunities in companies benefitting from privatisation, deregulation or demutualisation.

The Prudential risk rating and fund charges remain the same.

The fund can take long and short positions in markets, securities and groups of securities through derivative contracts.
